Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a filter wall of a hard disk drive.
- 2. Background Information
- Hard disk drives have a housing that encloses the various components of the drive. The housing provides protection from handling and various environmental factors. The housing typically has a seal to prevent contaminants from flowing into the drive. It is difficult to completely seal a disk drive. Consequently, contaminants and particles may flow into the drive. Additionally, particles can become captured within the drive during the manufacturing process.
- Some disk drives contain internal filters that capture particles inside the drive.
FIG. 1 shows an internal filter assembly of the prior art. The assembly includes a filter 1 that is attached to afirst filter wall 2 and asecond filter wall 3. The disk(s) 4 within the disk drive is rotated to allow data access to the entire surfaces of the disk(s). Rotation of the disk(s) also circulates the air within the disk drive. Any particles within the drive can be driven into and captured by the filter 1. The first filter wall 1 has acurved contour surface 5 that minimizes drag on the flow of air. It has been found that particles may become attached to thereverse side 6 of the filter 1. The reverse side of the filter is located adjacent to thedisk 4. The particles may become attached to a disk surface if it becomes detached from thereverse side 6 of the filter 1. It is highly undesirable to have particles on a disk surface. The particles can create errors in writing and reading data. The particles can also initiate undesirable movement of a head in the drive. It would be desirable to have a filter wall assembly that inhibits particle attachment to the reverse side of thefilter 2. It would also be desirable to provide a filter wall assembly that maximizes air flow through the filter. - A hard disk drive that includes a disk, a head, and a filter enclosed by a base plate and a cover plate. The base plate has a filter wall with a fore end and an aft end. The fore end of the filter wall has a tapered surface that extends to an apex. The distal end of the filter wall has a first filter attachment portion separated from a second filter attachment portion by a groove.

FIG. 3 is an enlarged top view of a filter wall assembly of the hard disk drive. - Disclosed is a hard disk drive that includes a disk, a head, and a filter enclosed by a base plate and a cover plate. The base plate has a filter wall with a fore end and an aft end. The fore end of the filter wall has a tapered surface that extends to an apex. The distal end of the filter wall has a first filter attachment portion separated from a second filter attachment portion by a groove. The second filter attachment portion may be longer than the first filter attachment portion. The filter wall induces a flow of air that inhibits particle attachment to a reverse side of the filter.
- Referring to the drawings more particularly by reference numbers,
FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of ahard disk drive 10 with the various internal components of the drive. Thedisk drive 10 may include one or moremagnetic disks 12 that are rotated by aspindle motor 14. Thespindle motor 14 may be mounted to abase plate 16. Thedisk drive 10 may further have acover 18 that encloses thedisks 12. Thecover 18 andbase plate 16 form a harddisk drive chamber 19. - The
disk drive 10 may include a plurality ofheads 20 located adjacent to thedisks 12. Theheads 20 may have separate write and read elements (not shown). The write element magnetizes thedisk 12 to write data. The read element senses the magnetic fields of thedisks 12 to read data. By way of example, the read element may be constructed from a magneto-resistive material that has a resistance which varies linearly with changes in magnetic flux. - Each
head 20 may be gimbal mounted to aflexure arm 26 as part of a head gimbal assembly (HGA). Theflexure arms 26 are attached to anactuator arm 28 that is pivotally mounted to thebase plate 16 by abearing assembly 30. Avoice coil 32 is attached to theactuator arm 28. Thevoice coil 32 is coupled to amagnet assembly 34 to create a voice coil motor (VCM) 36. Providing a current to thevoice coil 32 will create a torque that swings theactuator arm 28 and moves theheads 20 across thedisks 12. - The
hard disk drive 10 may include a printedcircuit board assembly 38 that includes a plurality of integratedcircuits 40 coupled to a printedcircuit board 42. The printedcircuit board 40 is coupled to thevoice coil 32,heads 20 andspindle motor 14 by wires (not shown). - As shown in
FIG. 3 , the disk drive includes afilter assembly 50. Thefilter assembly 50 includes afilter 52 that is attached to afirst filter wall 54 and asecond filter wall 56. Thefilter 52 is typically constructed from a material that will capture particles. During normal operation thedisk 12 is rotated. Rotation of the disk create a circulation of air within thehard drive chamber 19. The circulating air can carry particles that become attached to and captured by thefilter 52. Thefilter 52 can have aforward side 58 and areverse side 60. It is desirable to inhibit particle attachment to thereverse side 60 of thefilter 52. - The
first filter wall 54 includes afore end 62 and anaft end 64. Thefore end 62 of thefilter wall 54 includes a taperedsurface 66 that extends to an apex 68. Theaft end 64 may include a firstfilter attachment portion 70 and a secondfilter attachment portion 72. Thefilter attachment portions groove 74. The secondfilter attachment portion 72 may be longer than the firstfilter attachment portion 70. Providing a curved contour and apex 68 with the longersecond attachment portion 72, can induce an air flow that inhibits particle attachment to thereverse side 60 of the filter. The design of thefirst filter wall 54, particularly the inclusion of an apex, may also increase air flow from the design shown inFIG. 1 . By way of example, through computer simulation the first filter wall design may allow for a mass flow in the filter of 3.54e-6 Kg/sec. This is to be compared with the design ofFIG. 1 which allows a mass flow of 1.88e-6 Kg/sec. - While certain exemplary embodiments have been described and shown in the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that such embodiments are merely illustrative of and not restrictive on the broad invention, and that this invention not be limited to the specific constructions and arrangements shown and described, since various other modifications may occur to those ordinarily skilled in the art.
